Does anyone here have a mother that doesn't respect limits and boundaries?

Question

If so, how do you handle it?


Example:

1) Getting involved in situations that have nothing to do with her.

2) Calling people she NO relationship with whatsoever except through me.

3) Not respecting or acknowledging that these things are inappropriate and acting entitled to do whatever she pleases or happens to feel like doing at the moment.

4) Trying to throw me on a guilt trip when I point these things out.

Answer 1

Keep her at bay...it's the only way to protect yourself.

Answer 2
